Many patients are probabaly not aware that many dental offices, especially some of the large "chains" { I won't mention names,but one rhymes with "toast" } , are having there dental lab work such as crown done by labs in China , or eastern europe. This is done for one reason..to cut costs. I find this morally aprehensible. We have been using Avante Garde lab here in Tampa ( owned by Michael and Jan Han) since they opened over 20 years ago. I know exactly what materials are going into our crowns and dentures and I believe in keeping Americans employed. till next time
